Author's Notes: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. If I did, I would have Remus tied up to my bed and Sirius cooking in the kitchen while James plays with my daughter. Peter would be running from my cat. I don't own any of the Marvel Comic book Characters either. If I did, Logan would be out in the yard hurting my husband while Scott and Alex are arguing about how to hurt my husband. I don't own any of the Inu-Yasha characters. If I did, Sesshomaru would be joining Remus in my bed. Inu-Yasha would be with James playing with my daughter and Kagome and Sango would be helping Lily and Ororo beat the tar out of Miroku. I don't own any of the Star Wars characters. If I did then Qui-Gon would still be alive, Obi-Wan would not have had to train Anakin, and Anakin would not have gone to the Dark Side. I don't own the Mystic Force Power Rangers. If I did, do you really think Leanbow would have become Korag? I don't own Charmed or anyone from them. If I did, do you really think I would have them fight all those stupid demons that seem to think that they can take them out? I was just laughing at the thought of owning Lord of the Rings, Fantastic Four, or even Pirates of the Caribbean. It's just so flipping funny! Enjoy!
If you're reading this I'll tell you like I tell everyone else. This story is of my design, and me drinking one too many wine coolers, and the question "What would happen if…?". If you don't like whom I've hooked up or how I spell some of the names, don't review about it. I don't follow the stuff that others write. I like to stick to the books. If I find that they are spelled a different way then I will go ahead and change it. But until that day arrives, take your purist thinking, wad it in a tight little ball, and stuff where the sun don't shine. If you don't like my tales then you don't have to read it. Also when I finally get more than one chapter up, please don't just read the first chapter and then tell me that it sucks. How the bloody hell would you know anyhow? Are you Stan Lee, J.K. Rowling, Rumiko Takahaski, or George Lucas? I didn't think so. If you are the above people, my apologies for using your ideas and thank you for not suing me.
Sorry it took me so long to get his out. This is one of those chapters that really kicked my rear but I think I did a hell of a job. But that is not the only reason it's taken me a while. Real life is slowly taking over. No matter how often I try to allot a section of time to writing it never seems to happen and next year it may even get worse as I am pulling my child out of private school and home schooling her myself. So please understand that this story is not being dropped or put on hold. I just have a lot in my life with driving three elderly folks around and trying to keep all the appointments straight in my head. Sometimes I think I'm just losing it. I need a vacation, folks, and since it doesn't seem like I'm going to get one anytime soon, I'll just take a trip in my mind. See ya!
October 18, 1996
Veronica looked at the few artifacts scattered across the table. A golden locket with a silver S etched on it sat between Ravenclaw's diadem and Hufflepuff's cup. Each of the items seemed to hum with an evil power. She looked over at Harry sitting as far from the artifacts as he could. She knew that he was getting nervous about destroying the items but it had to be done. She looked around the room at the rest of the group. Piper's hands were clenched together to keep from blowing the items up, not that they were sure it would work. Johnny was standing near the farthest away as Tonks was in the room and he was afraid she might hit him. Sesshomaru was leaning against a wall and listening to Legolas and Aragorn talk about things that were happening in Middle Earth. Paige and Phoebe were trying to ignore Logan and Sirius who was trying to annoy the girls. Regina was seated next to Remus with Kirara curled up in her lap. Scott and Jean were sitting opposite them with Will and Elizabeth while Susan and Reed stood behind the sofa. The rest of the teachers were either teaching class or grading papers in the large office for the DADA teachers. Veronica turned to look at Dumbledore who was trying to figure out how they were going to destroy the three Horcruxes sitting before them.
"So what do we do now?" Paige climbed to her feet and made her way to the table.
"We figure out how to destroy these stupid fucking things." Everyone turned to look at Regina who stared back at them. "What?"
"Your language is awful, Regina. I expect a better example from you for the first years." Veronica's glare made her daughter cringe slightly.
"Sorry, Mother, but you all were thinking it." Regina smirked slightly at her mother's smile.
"Regardless, you shouldn't have said it."
"Just back off, Vee." Sirius cringed as Veronica turned her glare toward him. "She's got a point. We gotta figure out how destroy those things."
"If I remember correctly, Esmeralda said that we would need the Gryffindor's sword to destroy them." Jean looked at the artifacts. "Does anyone know where it is?"
Dumbledore looked over at Jean. "In my office but I don't think..."
"That's got us here in the first place, Headmaster. You didn't think about Tom's feelings or anything so he thought he needed power." Veronica crossed her arms and glared at Dumbledore. "Go get the damn sword."
Dumbledore barely flinched as he took Veronica's anger. He quickly hurried out the door and to his office. Everyone looked at Veronica and started laughing. Veronica rolled her eyes as she turned back to the artifacts.
"What do you expect, luv?" Remus climbed to his feet and made his way over to his wife. "You just told Regina off about her language and then you do the same thing. And scared Albus in the process."
Veronica leaned back slightly into Remus's embrace as the door opened and Dumbledore stepped back into the room. In his hands was Gryffindor's sword. The rubies in the hilt glittered softly in the dim light of the room. She turned to look at Harry. "Harry, since you found two of them would you like to destroy them?"
Harry slowly climbed to his feet and reached for the sword. "I'll do what I can, Aunt Veronica. I may still be connected to Voldemort." Slowly he raised the sword and sliced through the golden cup. A wailing sound echoed through the room as a white wisp of smoke drifted out of the cup and disappeared. The sword clattered to the floor as Harry grabbed his scar and screamed.
"Harry!" Regina jumped to her feet dumping Kirara to the floor and ran to Harry's side. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held onto him. "Are you okay, Harry?"
"He knows." Harry tried to catch his breath.
"I thought the link broken." Regina gently pushed Harry's hair away from the scar.
Veronica sank to the floor. "Well, it must not be. How are we going to do this if Harry can't destroy these blasted things?"
"He knows when I destroy a Horcrux. He didn't know when we destroyed the one he unintentionally created." Harry looked around at the gathered adults.
"Did you have any sudden burning over the summer when I destroyed the ring?" Dumbledore's blue eyes started to twinkle as Harry shook his head no. "Well, I believe we know what we need to do."
"So who wants to destroy what?" Veronica looked up as Susan smiled brightly.
"I know what we can do but we'll have to go outside to do it." Susan grabbed a cloth and threw it over the diadem, the locket, and what was left of the cup. "Follow me." She hurried out the door with Johnny and Reed right behind her.
Veronica grabbed Legolas's hand and let him pull her to her feet. "What is she doing?"
"I do not know. Perhaps we should follow her." Legolas laid a slender hand on the small of her back and led her out of the room.
Susan led the group outside to a rather large clearing near the lake. "Everyone needs to stay back. This is going to get hot." She laid the bag on the ground before hurrying back to Johnny. "Time to go supernova, Johnny."
"Sis, do you mean it?" Johnny started bouncing excitedly.
Susan smiled. "I sure do. If you get the fire hot enough it might melt the Horcruxes and that will destroy them."
"Goody." Johnny took a step forward. "Flame on!" His body erupted into flames burning the robes he had put on that morning over his uniform. "I'm ready."
"Good. Start heating them up while I put up a force field." Susan waited for Johnny to start fly in a circle around the Horcruxes. She quickly placed a force field around him and the three items that were starting to melt beneath his flames. "You need to get hotter, Johnny!"
"Gotcha!' Johnny put out a larger burst of fire causing his body to start to turn white with the heat.
Susan nearly collapsed to her knees but Sesshomaru and Legolas each wrapped an arm around her waist and helped keep her on her feet. "Thanks." Suddenly everyone covered his or her ears as a wailing filled the air. "I think we're almost there, Johnny!"
"I'm not cooling down until those pieces of junk are puddles of metal!" Johnny continued to circle the Horcruxes.
The Horcruxes slowly dissolved into metal as the pieces of Voldemort's soul few out. Regina stood outside of the force field holding Gryffindor's sword. She sliced through each wisp of white that tried to escape the force field. Harry shuddered slightly each time but otherwise stayed standing beside Veronica and Remus. Regina sliced through the last wisp of soul.
"That's the last of the bastard's Horcruxes that we have." Regina drove the sword into the ground before turning to Susan. "When's Johnny stopping?"
Susan looked at the scorched ground inside the force field and saw the large puddle of metal shimmering where the Horcruxes once stood. "Johnny, time to cool down!" She started to lower the force field as Johnny landed beside the puddle of metal.
"Flame off!" Johnny stared at the metal before looking up at Susan who Legolas had scooped into his arms. "Sue!" He ran to her side. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Johnny. I just over did it again." Susan gave Johnny a small smile as Piper looked up at the sky for a second.
"LEO! Get down here!" Piper smirked when Leo appeared beside her in a column of orbs.
Leo looked down at his wife. "What is it?"
"Susan needs to be looked at." Piper pointed at the woman still being held in Legolas's arms.
Leo ran over to Susan and held his hands over her. "I think you'd better have Poppy look you over as well. At least once I'm done."
"Okay." Susan seemed a little groggy.
Leo shook his head slightly as the golden light from his hands faded. "I think I got you healed but I'll take you to Poppy anyways." He gently took Susan into his arms before disappearing in his usual manner of orbs.
Regina looked around at the group. "Do you think Voldedork knows that we're onto him?"
--
Voldemort screamed as he threw hex after hex at his followers. "I demanded that you keep those items safe and what has happened to them?"
Lucius Malfoy didn't look up from his kneeling position. "We tried, milord."
"Crucio!" Voldemort watched Lucius writhe around on the floor in pain before lifting the curse. "You have failed me one too many times, Malfoy. Now your wife will pay." He turned his wand on Narcissa. "Avada Kedavra!" Narcissa's body fell to the floor in a crumpled heap.
"Cissa!" Lucius scrambled across the floor to his wife's body. "No!"
"Let this be a lesson to you. DO NOT FAIL ME AGAIN!!" Voldemort started to laugh as his followers cringed. They watched as Lucius cried for his wife.
Author's Notes: Don't ask me why I did what I did. I'm a bit confused myself. I was sitting at work and it seemed to come to me so I don't want to mess with it. I hope you enjoyed this.
